Backing Up Windows DC

To backup Windows DC, you need to back up system state of a domain controller includes its registry, SYSVOL, Active Directory DIT files, and critical system files. Most third-party backup and Windows NTBackup utilities have the ability to backup and restore the system state of a DC.

To perform a system state backup to a disk file using ntbackup, use the following command:

NTBACKUP backup systemstate /F “<filename>”

Here, <filename> is the name of the backup file to be created and should use the .bkf extension.
